It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live. A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.
Dessesn's novel Along For the Ride was amazing in my personal opinion. The plot was different from anything I've ever read. The characters lives in this book revolves around BMX bike riding. Like how many times do you find a plot in a book for YA girls to read involving BMX. It's not also just that, the book was great itself too. Auden was great I really liked her character even thought she might not willingly try stuff at times but she ends up doing it anyways. I think at the end of the book she ends up finding alot of courage to do and try new things. I also loved Eli's personality he's so sweet and nice even though he's the strong silent type. I encourage others to read this book if not you already haven't read it yet. I have to say I plan on reading more of Dessen's novels.
